On the real secondary classes of transversely holomorphic foliations (Q1572641): Difference between revisions

In the context of transversely holomorphic foliations on differential manifolds, the author studies the relation between a characteristic class which represents the imaginary part of the Bott class and the Godbillon-Vey class. This is done by means of an explicitly given map which corresponds to forgetting the holomorphic structure. Several interesting examples related to this relation are presented.
